Is Elvis really dead? Did he fake his own death to fool the mob? Has he been making phone calls? The gang at The Times in Gainesville talks about the most explosive news of the week with life reporter Layne Saliba, who talked with a local woman who has been researching Elvis’ death for years.

She’s talked with Oprah, Larry King and now she’s talking with The Times about why Elvis might still be alive. Listen in to hear more about the story and read it on gainesvilletimes.com.
